    Great house right on the river. Beautiful views out of the living room. Kitchen was well equipped with all the cooking tools needed. House feels comfortable and is well decorated. Very nice towels.

    Listed for half of what the final payment was. After all of the made up fees it basically doubled the cost per night. Light bulbs out in dinning room. Someone left dog poop right of front entrance. I don’t like cameras on me when I’m on the deck enjoying myself either. The place is dated.Very close to the road. Not worth the price. Won’t be back. The one positive was nice view of the Watauga river close to Boone and Mast General store.

    This is the most beautiful house sitting next to the river multiple decks on the outside one on each master suite with a fireplace open floor plan great stock in the kitchen. Everything‘s always clean. Everything is always on point. You don’t need for anything except to come, bring your clothes and enjoy! Best hostess ever there for any questions which are only one or two, and if you go to relaxation recommend it to anyone.

    We stayed at this house when we came up to visit my son for ASU’s family weekend and really enjoyed our stay. The house is only about 15 minutes from campus, so it’s quite convenient. The house is large (but cozy), has comfortable furniture, and has the most amazing view/access to the Watauga River. It reminded me of a quaint bed and breakfast. The house was well-labeled to explain things such as how to lock the doors, how to work the heating and cooling, and all light switches are labeled. I thought this was a very helpful touch. All the instructions and descriptions on the listing were accurate. 2 things to be aware of: a few starter items are provided (dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent pods, hand soap in bathrooms), but no bathroom toiletries (shampoo, soap/body wash) are provided. Not a big deal, just something to know when you are packing. The other thing to know is that trash has to be carried out to the can outside that has to be locked up. When we went to throw trash out, the can was completely full, so we had to just bring our trash with us and dispose of it on our own. It was slightly inconvenient but not a huge deal. We really loved our stay at this house and highly recommend staying here!

    Such a great experience for a small family. We have a 5 year old son and having a separate room directly down the hall with his own bathroom was perfect! The view of the river from almost every room in the house was magical. The house was extremely clean and well maintained. I don’t have one bad thing to say about the house only positives!

    House was great and had all the amenities you need for a short stay. Location is great- close to downtown Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, Hawksnest and Mast General Store. River out back was lovely to watch and even with snow on the ground it was easy to walk down to the edge of it. Communication with host was prompt and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

    We loved the stay. Very relaxing. We will return for another family trip. The sound of the water was amazing. The only negative was not being able to get the gas fireplace to work. We highly recommend the property regardless.

    The property is really lovely. I will bear in mind that we were the first guests the owners had after Hurricane Helene so I am assuming that most of the little things were not noted prior to our arrival due to the break in action and just dealing with the larger issues of storm damage etc. The upstairs/bedroom TVs did not function and the alarm on the door had some setting issues that were a bit annoying, the dishwasher was not unloaded before we got there. But these are minor housekeeping issues that I am certain are normally tended to. Generally, the place is lovely, the views from the very large deck and super comfortable Adirondack styled dining and seating areas were truly beautiful with the River rapids right at our feet. Location was super convenient and overall just a a very pleasant stay. We had tix to the App game and had a day of hiking planned but truly, as enjoyable as both those things were, it was hard to leave that deck and that view for the day after Breakfast! The living area and entertainment space is HUGE for only a two bedroom house. Great value, beautiful home!
